<p>Blackrock Park is a great place to spend a few hours on a nice day. There is a small pay &amp; display car park so arrive early or walk.</p>

<p>The park is a large with great views over the sea towards Howth.</p>

<p>The kids can watch the boats and trains while playing in the playground situated at the far side near Blackrock Dart station.</p>

<p>The playground is OK - probably a bit small for the size of the park but enough variety to keep all kids amused. The park with some gym equipment can entertain older kids too.</p>

<p>There is also a large pond in the middle with swans and ducks.</p>
